Redskins mourn death of Taylor.

Sean Taylor, Washington Redskins All-Pro Safety died of blood loss after he was shot in the thigh during an invasion of his home in Miami, FL. I don't really have anything to say right now.

It's been a day-and-a-half. We're all stunned.

That's crazy shit, man. Dude was 24. So senseless.

Oh, man. I just watched the press conference. I'm so sorry for your team's loss.

Someone posted a link to that hit he made on a punt return (?) at the Pro Bowl last year. I remember watching that hit and thinking he had perfect form and a ton of passion -- and on a special teams play at the Pro Bowl. If ever there was a time to take a play off, that's it, but he didn't.

i was sorry to hear it. We talked about him in class today. I had mentioned in the lectures for tomorrow's test about how dangerous injuries like his could be and how hollywood always made it look like getting shot in the leg is nothing and I'm not sure they believed me until now

I still don't even, like, understand, you know? It was so insanely fast, and just bizarre. This really sucks, and there's not much else I can figure out about it at the moment.

The whole thing is so senseless. Plus, if there was a break in just a few days earlier, why wasn't there some type of extra security? I'd think the police would keep an eye on his house because it makes sense that there might be a stalker or someone who might come back.

I'm a bit stunned by his death as well. In my naive little world, I didn't realize that if someone was alive when they reached the hospital that they could still die of blood loss. There's a weirdness about all of this.

That is so sad. What a waste.
